When it is recollected that the divis ions of land in England are very nu in-erous, the amouitt of ava-lable land abst racted from the purposes of agri culture, is very great. It has been cetablished at several million bushels of grain.-Plough, Loom and Aineil. PtIewervati3 n of noo1. Mlany kinds of roo's, when stored in cellars, are liable to heat and rot.. - This is especially the case with the ruta basga turnip, and the sugar beet. In storing these riots I generally con. struct temporary bills fur their recep ion, art ii nId the sides ofl my c liars, inl the fo llowing manner : In the first place set, some uprights one Iot from the wall, and board np to the requisite height. Sleepers are then put down, and a floor laid, three or fnour fleet in wI; u r is thea put up, and the enids. The boarding should lie opeii in order to secure as thorough a ventillation of the rootsas practicable, and hence narr-w boards are pIefera ble to wide ones. After storing the crop, the cellar should be left opei for several days, and thlien opened fre quently for a few hours daily, till the weather becomes quite cold. In this way roots may be preserved without anly liability of bioating. Potatoes are rare'y injured by flermenting ; they are m-ich more liable to be deteriora ted by drying and1 the actioni of light. 4gitdark celar is _t)he est for, WINrEa Ca.wers.-Tne editor of the 'Prairie Farmer" .-nys that he iartook, on the 4th of las;t June, of gr:IIes which had been packed away the autuno previous.
